WiSe 22/23: Cultural Complexity and Ethnic Violence in Ukraine. A transnational History of a Heterogeneous Country
Grzegorz Rossolinski-Liebe
Comments
Ukraine is the second largest European country with a very complex and heterogenous history. Although there was no Ukrainian state as late as 1991, Ukrainians have actively shaped the history of East Central Europe and the globe. As a country located in the European borderlands, Ukrainians adopted aspects of Polish and Russian cultures and were shaped by the political situation of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Habsburg Empire and the Russian Empire. From the late Middle Ages until 1942, Ukraine was also home to a large Jewish population in whose annihilation many Ukrainians actively participated. In this seminar, we will discover the complexity and heterogenous nature of Ukrainian history, try to comprehend what shaped it, and how this history, in turn, had an impact on Jewish, Polish, Russian, Soviet and other histories. We will also study the history of the Holocaust as well as interethnic and Soviet violence in Ukraine and try to understand how Ukrainians took part in these processes. close
